VAINGANGA Chakali Premix, Made By Natural Ingredients, No Artificial Flavours, Pack of 500 gms

A ready chakli premix from VAINGANGA — a bag of flour, not fried chakli. You make the dough, pipe the spirals and fry them at home; the premix saves you roasting and grinding the grains and dals yourself, which is the slow part of making chakli from scratch.

• Seasoning: premixes differ in how much spice is already in the flour, and this listing doesn't give the blend. Fry a small test piece and taste it before you add extra masala to the whole dough.
• Dough tip: it should hold its shape without sticking to your palm. Too dry and the spirals crack; too wet and they soak up oil.
• Heat: chakli wants moderate oil. Too hot and the outside darkens while the inside stays soft. Break the first one open before you fry the batch.
• Allergies: chakli flour is usually rice with dals, but the ingredient list isn't given here — check the pack if that matters in your house.
